The Assertion is correct but the Reason is incorrect.

Correct Answer:

Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

Explanation:

Congress swept the general seats in the provincial elections, and the Muslim League captured most of the reserved Muslim seats. But the League chose to
boycott the Constituent Assembly, pressing its demand for Pakistan with a separate constitution. The Socialists too were initially unwilling to join, for they believed the Constituent Assembly was a creation of the British, and therefore incapable of being truly autonomous.
